Fast Approaching! Televised Seminar: After the Ash Settles – The Legalisation of Recreational MarijuanaFriday September 28, 2018 – Broadcast from the University of Regina to various locations across Saskatchewan

In October 2018, federal legislation comes into force which authorises Canadian provinces and territories to establish mechanisms for the sale of recreational marijuana. Legalisation ends almost a century of near criminal prohibitions related to marijuana and makes Canada just the second country in the world to fully legalise cannabis.

This seminar addresses some of the issues faced by various practice areas and offers insights from Public Policy, Provincial Government and Law Enforcement perspectives.

All lawyers insured by CLIA now have mandatory cybercrime coverage. But do you know how the policy works and what you and your firm must do to qualify for coverage? Lawyers and law firms are potential targets for hackers, ransomware and cyber criminals. CLIA’s Cyber Liability Program provides cybercrime coverage for insured lawyers and their clients.

In this one-hour webinar, the Law Society of Manitoba’s Director of Insurance, Tana Christianson, reviews the scope of coverage under the policy and how to access that coverage. You will also hear from Sean Rivera and Simon Young of the Law Society of Manitoba’s IT department about the cybercrime risks out there and how you can protect yourself, your firm and your clients so that hopefully you won’t ever need to make a claim. They will also explain what your firm needs to do from an IT perspective to meet the conditions of coverage. Although this webinar was delivered by the Law Society of Manitoba, the content applies to Law Society of Saskatchewan members as well.

Qualifies for 1 CPD hour, which also qualifies as Ethics.
